For your own requests, you must use your own account information,
authentication token, container names, and object names. For more information,
see Authenticate to the Rackspace Cloud. Your
authentication token and your account information are in the service catalog
that is produced.

Warning

You request this operation against a CDN management services URI, such as
https://cdn2.clouddrive.com/v1/MossoCloudFS_aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee/,
as shown in the table “Regionalized service endpoints for CDN management
services” in the Service access endpoints section.
If you use a Storage management services URI by mistake, you delete your
object.

When you find it necessary to remove a CDN-enabled object from public access
before the TTL expires, you can perform a DELETE operation against the
object, or you can create a support ticket to purge the entire container.

To delete containers that have been CDN-enabled in the past and are now
disabled, but are still showing up when you use the
List CDN-enabled containers operation, send
a DELETE request with an x-remove-cdn-container:t header to remove them
from the listing.

Note

You should limit object purges to situations in which serious personal,
business, or security consequences could occur if the object remained
publicly accessible on the CDN (for example, when someone publishes your
company's quarterly earnings too early).

You can purge objects from the CDN in the following ways:

By using DELETE in the API

You can manually purge CDN-enabled objects without having to wait for the TTL
to expire, and you can optionally be notified by email that the object has been
purged.

You can use the DELETE operation against a maximum of 25 objects per day by
using the API.

An attempt to delete more objects results in a 498 (Rate Limited) status code.

The system purges the object from the CDN and sends an email to the indicated
address or addresses. If you want to notify more than one person about the
deletion, you can enter a comma-separated list of addresses. The email address
is optional.
